UNA HEARD is the project of Berlin-based musician and sound artist Steffen Dix, exploring the space between ambient, experimental jazz and electronic music. Starting from the acoustic voices of saxophone, clarinet and flute, he creates immersive soundscapes through live processing, glitchy textures, deep bass and eclectic drum machine rhythms. Moving between organic improvisation and electronic experimentation, UNA HEARD's performances unfold into unexpected sonic landscapes – sometimes meditative, sometimes playful, sometimes rhythmically intense.
Born in India and based in the Netherlands, Tarang Poddar is a tabla player, composer, and bandleader working between Indian classical music, jazz, and contemporary world traditions. Trained rigourously in India in the guru-led tradition, he performed early on as a soloist and accompanist to leading Indian classical artists.
This concert is a presentation of a residency the artists immerse into at Batavierhuis, exploring original compositions using instruments and live electronics
